Episode 90
The moment Ah Mei fell from the tree, she was ready for the pain of the fall, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that she fell down intact, and under her butt, there seemed to be What a soft thing.
She immediately stood up in fright, and when she looked back, she saw Fatty Xiaoguo lying on the ground.
Ah Mei quickly stepped forward to help him up, and asked in a distressed tone, "Xiaoguo, why did you run under me? Does it hurt?"
It was smashed down from a height, and it was estimated that he was going to be a big piece of green. If it was serious, he would definitely have to go to the hospital.
Xiaoguo patted the dust on her body, and whispered with some embarrassment, "I'm not afraid that I won't be able to catch you, and I have a lot of flesh on my body, so I am not afraid of pain."
In fact, he had already suffered from the pain, but in front of the little girl he liked, he still had the same face, and refused to admit the pain.
Ah Mei looked at the pile of meat on his body suspiciously, and then thought about the soft flesh that she encountered when she fell, and believed him.
She smiled sweetly at Xiaoguo, and lifted the tightly held osmanthus branch in her hand, "Thank you, when my grandma turns the osmanthus into sugar, I will divide you half."
Fatty Xiaoguo waved his hand quickly, saying that he didn't want it, "No, I don't want it, I don't use it."
Ah Mei ignored his refusal, grabbed his hand directly, and made a final conclusion, "Then it's settled, I'll give you sweets, you can't tell others about my tree climbing."
Fatty Xiaoguo blushed, and he whispered for a while and finally nodded, then whispered, "Okay."
—
The little fat man said that Mei couldn’t refuse him. When he had to give him candy, he couldn’t stop the smile on his face. He even gestured to Gu Huaiyu with his hands, "The candy is only a little in total. She also gave me a little bit more specially, saying it was for my medical expenses."
Gu Huaiyu: "..." I accidentally ate dog food.
The little fat man was talking, but his eyes gradually reddened, "You said that a person who was alive originally, how could he just leave?"
He still couldn't forget the day Ah Mei left, and he wanted to see the scene of sweet-scented osmanthus again.
But not only did the osmanthus tree not bloom that year, but the leaves were also much less than in previous years.
Gu Huaiyu is not good at comforting others. She can only say dryly, "Birth, old age, sickness and death is a process that people must go through. You don't have to be too sad, Mr. Li, maybe your fate will continue."
A gust of wind blows off the sweet-scented osmanthus on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, as if agreeing with Gu Huaiyu's words, comforting the little fat man.
However, even if the little fat man feels bad at present, Gu Huaiyu must explain the seriousness of the matter to him clearly.
"Mr. Li, originally I didn't intend to tell you about this, but depending on the current situation, it won't work if you don't say it."
"I won't agree with the house. There is not much that Mei left behind. At least it is the place where I lived with her." The little fat man refused without thinking.
Gu Huaiyu said softly, "Then if I say, if you don't dig all the roots clean, the osmanthus tree will lose nutrients and die?"
The little fat man was stunned, "How, how could it." He still looked a little disbelief.
Gu Huaiyu glanced at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and said, "Boss Li still remembers that when I came in and saw this sweet-scented osmanthus tree, he told you that when things are done, I will tell you something."
The little fat man nodded, "I have said so."
Gu Huaiyu paused, "The thing I want to say is about this sweet-scented osmanthus tree."
The little fat man was silent and looked at Gu Huaiyu, wanting to know what she would say.
Gu Huaiyu looked at Qiu Yi, who had been following her, "This matter actually makes her more suitable."
Qiu Yi's soul resides on the doll, and the material of the doll is mainly locust wood, which is very good for the cultivation of her spirit.
Although living on the doll will restrict her actions to a certain extent, it can make her feel the feelings of those trees simply and directly.
So when she saw this tree, she immediately felt a strange feeling in her heart. Because she felt a little strange, she told Gu Huaiyu about the matter.
It was because of her reminder that Gu Huaiyu noticed the tree.
Qiu Yi received Gu Huaiyu's sight and immediately walked forward to explain the source of the matter to the little fat man.
"If I'm not wrong, your wife's ashes should be buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree."
The little fat man obviously didn't expect anyone to know about this, but when his gaze swept to Ji Chun, who was behind Gu Huaiyu, he understood.
"Brother Ji told you, this matter..." The little fat man seemed to want to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Qiu Yi.
She shook her head, "No, this sweet-scented osmanthus tree told me."
"Huh?" The little fat man thought he might have heard it wrong. "You mean the sweet-scented osmanthus tree told you that I buried my wife's ashes under it?"
Qiu Yi paused, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, but the fact is."
The little fat man laughed, "Don't be kidding me, little girl." He looked at Gu Huaiyu, "Boss Gu doesn't have to lie to me about this. I won't demolish the house anyway."
Ji Chun answered at this moment, "I didn't say that."
"Huh?" The little fat man obviously didn't expect Ji Chun to deny that this was not what he said.
Qiu Yi didn't care whether the little fat man believed it or not, and continued, "The painting in the basement, when I bought it, Boss Li's wife was still alive, right?"
The little fat man was silent for a while, "Well, Mei was still there at that time, but her health is already very bad."
Qiu Yi paused, "Do you know why this painting cannibalism only broke out now."
The little fat man shook his head blankly, obviously he hadn't thought about it.
Qiuqiu touched the sweet-scented osmanthus tree before, "Because it blocked the roots that extended from the painting, and because it exhausted all my strength to stop it, when your wife was seriously ill, she couldn't show her what she wanted to see most. Osmanthus, it asks me to say sorry to you."
The little fat man opened his mouth. He didn't expect this to be the reason.
So at that time the osmanthus tree did not bloom not because of other reasons, but to exhaust all strength to save them.
Qiu Yi continued, "Your sweet-scented osmanthus tree will soon be refined in a hundred years." She paused, "But then you may not see that time."
The little fat man suddenly became a little silly, "Really?"
"Well, really." Qiu Yi nodded, "but if you don't get rid of the roots that spread out of the painting, the real may become fake."
The little fat man was silent for a while, and asked, "Can you tell me what else the tree said."
"It said I'm sorry, it's too weak and can't help you much." Qiu Yi relayed the words of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
